Views on this have changed in recent years, according to Pew Research Center surveys. In 2019, 57% said people overlooking racial discrimination was the bigger problem, while 42% pointed to people seeing it where it really didn’t exist. That gap has narrowed from 15 to 8 percentage points.

    speak to anyone and everyone but now after years of being told I am racist

    Were you saying racist shit?

    I’m guessing you are one of those “I’m not racist, I hate everyone” assholes. Which is a long way of saying "I’m racist, but it doesn’t count because I’m a jerk to my friends (who are all white).

      My uncle doesn’t think he’s racist, meanwhile the few days he stayed with me I heard the N word more times than I’ve heard others say it in the past 10 years. He used it not only to describe people but instead of the word black to describe the color of objects. I’m guessing having to rethink what they mean really means they don’t say the n word around black people but are being called out by white people they feel they should be able to get away with it around.
